Description of Sansamp Character Series US Steel Guitar Pedal

Tech 21 SansAmp Character Series U.S. Steel Guitar Pedal Details

Packing more metal than Pittsburgh, the Tech 21 SansAmp Character Series U.S. Steel Guitar Pedal is high gain Valhalla. Blistering distortions and searing lead tones just keep coming; every nu-metal chunk, every modern rock slab. Back off for smoky blues or ignite the rage of an uber-gain rectifier. Emulating the massive Celestion-powered chunk of a closed-back cab, the musclebound U.S. Steel is here to raise hell and steal your girl.

The Character Series pedals take their mojo from the most respected amp tones on both sides of the Atlantic. These pedals donâ€™t just have a single character, they have the whole cast, plot and curtain call.

The Level and Drive controls work like a traditional, well-equipped amp. Low, Mid and High, however, are active, providing a wider array of tonal possibilities. Then thereâ€™s the Character knob, which is something quite unique. This continuously-variable control moves seamlessly between different model voicings, covering vintage, high-gain and face-melting lead tones. The Character and Mid controls, and the speaker emulations, are all engineered to personify the specific amplifier traits and speakers associated with each amplifier type. Put simply, Tech 21 has crammed the entire lineage of each amp style into a funky little box.
